Excerpt:

The mosque in Vienna, which was shut down by the Austrian government, reopened after the mosque association overcome some shortcomings.

“We were shocked when the Austrian government made a decision to shut down the mosques,” Vienna Alperenler Mosque Association President Haci Yagci told Anadolu Agency.

“Our mosque has been in the same address since 1992,” Yagci said, adding: “It has not been mentioned with any negative events until now, but there was baseless news about our association at the press.”

“For many years, we have very good relations with the priests in the church right opposite to our mosque and we have a platform to come together with priest to discuss the problem of our region.”
